Currently, pin tab can be closed with cmd+w or middle click, same as unpin tab.

This option will disable the close action for pin tab. When enabled, middle click and cmd+w will have no effect for pin tab. User will have to unpin the tab to close.

  1. If a tab is pinned, usually means user intended to keep it. So it justifies the extra step. Especially if they turn on this option manually.
  2. When spamming cmd+w to mass closing normal tabs, it is easy to kill pin tab by accident. Especially if "Return to last active tab when closing current tab" is enabled.

This can be an option in the Tabs setting. Option can default to disable.

    JSiuDev Wait... my pinned tabs don't close when I close tabs with CMD+W. 🤔

        Just tested (Version 0.99.132.2-rc (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4):

        • Middle click - pin tab closed
        • cmd+w - pin tab did not close, but focus changed to a non-pin tab. (Bug??)

        I press cmd+w near the end of the video, focus switched to the Notes tab:
